alright, i will try to assess your reason.
If you mother say that you cannot marry a certain girl
because your horoscope clashes, but you do not believe what she
says because you dun believe in horoscope affecting your love for
her.
We cannot prove in any definitive way that your mother
belief is wrong right? So, we cannot ridicule your mother right?
This is the kind of reasoning you are saying.
For logics, we look at statistics, if the number shows
that there is no relationship and there is good reasons, then we
will accept certain things as fact until it is uoverturned by new
evidence.
I could also put it to you that if someone in ancient Egypt had
believed that the air that he was breathing was actually made of
countless particles too small to be seen, many would have thought
him nuts and even ridiculed him. Could he have proven it in any
meaningful way, statistics, logic and all ? No. But was
he right ? Yes.
Certain things are easier to prove/disprove than others. If you
want to find out whether the month in which a person is born
in affects his personality, you can do a massive correlation
study and find that out. But how do you set-up an experiment
to prove/disprove the existence of God ? Your initial experiment is
certainly not going to do it. All it proves (at best) is that
invoking a supernatural curse on oneself does not always result in
harm.
... For god, the statistics and evidence are so little and weak
that they conclusion that we atheist get is that God is fake.
Such conclusion will stay this way
as fact until new evidence is available.
However, atheists do not see that we will ever see new evidences
surfacing based on all the reasons and knowledge we know what about
the so called "god".
And I suppose there is strong evidence that God does not exist ?
And in case you are thinking of doing it, being able to explain
phenomena through Science does not disprove the existence of
God.
I believe that it is reasonable for someone to be skeptical
about the existence of God, or to decide that based on current
knowledge/experiences, he does not believe there to be a God.
But to declare this as 'fact' and ridicule anyone who
does not share this view is not reasonable, to put it mildly.
